SOUPER BOWL OF CARING – Sunday, February 8 -It started with a prayer...."Lord, as we enjoy watching the Super Bowl today, may we be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat." Over the past 37 years over 200 million dollars has been collected across America for local food pantries and soup kitchens. Today you will have the opportunity to donate as you leave the service. We will have a soup pot located in the Narthex. 100 % of what our church collects will go to God's Helping Hands. We will report our collection to Souper Bowl of Caring so that we can join churches across the country in making a difference in our local community.
Handbell rehearsals for Easter will begin on February 1. Everyone is welcome and no experience is necessary. Rehearsals are on Sundays at 12 o’clock. Please see Janet if interested.
Please pick up your year-end donation statements for 2025. They are located in the basket in the Narthex.
Thank you all so much for the prayers, cards, and meals you’ve shared with us over these last several months during our illness. Your love, kindness, and care have meant more to us than we can express. We are truly grateful for our church family, God bless you all. Vince and Sue Rhodes
